A Royal Gramma for $20?? Sheesh; I'd pay that in a flash! LOL - if we can get them here (maybe a few times a year); the starting price is around $50....

good pt about LFS'.

Where I lived 10 years ago there was a small shop run by a guy for 20-odd yrs - prob still going. He only did Fwater fish tho. Clean tanks; nice shop; reasonable range; could get stuff in in under a week if he didn't have it;nice personality; wife helped him; always had time for advice - or if he was busy we would phone you later. Not cheap; but not expensive. Would not sell you stuff you didn't need - always checked what equip and fish you had first. I bought all my stuff there; and he remembered it. Sometimes if I bought 10 Neons etc he would charge for 7; and throw in a plant if I wanted one.

Fantastic; and that's the way I think it should be.
